Question Regarding the Text Parser [SOLVED]

[dgill]

Is there anyway to use the group number associated with a word in the text parser instead of having to type out the word itself?  I want to use this to be able to randomly pick a word using the int values and then convert that int into the word associated with it and output it to the screen.  Is this possible in anyway.

There's no way to directly access the parser's word bank, however you could set up an array in the global script:

Code: ags

// put this in your script header
import String ParserWords[20];

// put this at the top of your global script
String ParserWords[20]; // change 20 to as many parser words as you need
export ParserWords;

// put this in your global script's game_start function
ParserWords[0] = "a";
ParserWords[1] = "all";
ParserWords[2] = "an";
ParserWords[3] = "at";
// etc.

// then inside of some function you can do:
Parser.ParseText(ParserWords[Random(19)]); // use one less than max parser words because Random is inclusive 0-X, so if you have 20 words your array indices are 0-19

That will work, thanks for the help.
